A little cookie twist

First post in my quest to have a more positive blog. I hope you enjoy!

Some thing most of my friends know about me is that I Never follow a recipe. I'm always adding or adjusting. I love to experiment with food.

Recently I made an all-time classic Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Of course I tweaked it a bit.



I followed the recipe on the bottom of the lid, but changed a few things. For starters I didn't add the Raisins... this changes the cookie altogether. I added an extra 1/2 tsp of Cinnamon. Then I chopped up an apple into little cubes 

(not looking for perfection here)
(notice my totally awesome Wolfgang Puck Knife)
;)

Fold in the apple bits and bake as normal.
It's also fun to sprinkle the top of the cookies with a little cinnamon sugar mixture right before popping those bad boys in the oven.


The finished product!

A sweet and tasty alternative to an ordinary classic and it only takes a little extra effort!
